Military; ADDRESS on W-2 and state tax

Turbo tax is giving an error when I file due to W-2 employee address in w-2 for military. On the W-2 under service members name is just a series of number. What do I put there? there is no address on the W-2. 

Also for civilian spouses exempting state tax, the box c is $0 but it says I have to put something there but then it messes up the refund.

Please help, spoke to many tax experts from turbotax and no one seems to know the answer how to bypass it. 

 

EDIT: I read online to put 0.1 cents for state taxes and the resident city and zipcode to bypass it. Is this allowed?

Put the service members name instead of the series of numbers.  If there's no address, enter one.  Enter the Taxpayer's address.

 

Regarding civilian spouses exempting state tax, what form are you referring to when you mention "box c"?
